"Grandma I'm going to se Aunt Celeste"

"yes you are"

Alberto's eyes brightened at his noona's statement.

He knew his Zoe Knight was hurt, but whenever she was she never showed it.

it's been more than 20 years of marriage and he still loves her everyday.

"Zoe let's go"

he spoke about after coming out of his reveree

"I have a mansion here so we are going to stay there"

"hmm"

she just humped in response.

she wondered which woman wouldn't be angry if she was in her shoes.

when she investigated about celestina she found some secrets, the Davis family are going to pay for what they put her girl through.

Yes, her girl she's not against celestina becoming one of her own okay.

"Zavid take off the blind fold"

" We are almost there"

then he took off my blind fold.

I was amazed by the decorations in the house.

I turned to look at him he looked nervous.

"This is really beautiful"

"Not as you."

I wondered if he learnt those cheesy lines just for this night.

I heard him clear his throat and I turned look at him.

" So, what is all this for..."

I trailed of and paused.

I looked at him and he held me close to himself

" I know I was not the best at the beginning of this journey"

I raise my brow at his statement

"But you still gave me a chance, give we have now a chance"

he left me in walk toward the table, and he came back holding a box, a beautiful, intricate traditional box.

"What's in this?"

" Inside is the family heirloom and it is passed down to the daughter in law of this family"

what was he driving at

" I used to think you don't deserve it"

he placed in the place around my neck

"But it's the other way around it doesn't deserve you"

I turned to face him to see whenever he was saying the truth

Whether his eyes showed his words.

whatever he said whether the truth was in it.

I don't know why but my heart was beating so fast

I felt I was in a dream and wished someone would just pinch me to wake me up, but I know I wasn't

Everything was here happening in front of me was real I just hoped it wasn't a one of his games, that I wasn't one of his flings, one of his games and he meant everything because I was one to put in my all when I fell in love

I hope I wouldn't get hurt for the decisions I might make, I am giving love another chance, to feel loved. And to fall in love again. Would I regret this? I don't know for now but I was willing to take that step, to walk that path if it meant waling it with him.

Love makes you do crazy things but I hope if there comes a time for me to stop, I can pull myself from it's grasp.

"I don't know what to say I'm speechless at the moment by all this is wow"

she said emotionally as she wiped some tears

"To tell you the truth the moment the plane landed here"

then she took a deep breath in us she wiped tears away

" I was going to get the lawyers prepare the divorce paper so that we would just go"

he placed his finger on her lips

"don't I understand"

then he held her face as he caressed it

"I won't let you regrets this decision of me for giving me another chance"

" I hope you keep this word"

she said as she said into his eyes placing her trust in him, praying that he wouldn't break her heart

And he will keep his word but can the errs of man be trusted, can she really give him that floor, that stage, that ground, that strength, everything and believe that he wouldn't break her heart

She's didn't really know but at that moments she felt would it hurt to give him a chance although she was hurt once maybe people change in maybe he has

________________

Upstairs, she took off her jewelry, dress, makeup.

she remembered everything that happened during the day

moments with Zavid, will he really keep to his word, would he really protect her and love her as he claimed or it was just a ploy, a plot to get her to relax her walls so that he can fully destroy her and watch her crumble

But why did such thoughts make her heart ache, why did she feel as though she would die if that were to happen

Why did she feel so breathless, she never felt like this even with her ex-boyfriend but why did she feel that now

she laughed, sometimes you just have to take that risk, you have to fall in love because only maybe by getting hurt will you grow up and would you learn that's some lessons are gotten only when you fall in love and get hurt

she just hoped he would keep his promise and not break her heart

Love love it's such a beautiful thing love without efforts is just an illusion love without trying is just a fantasy but what if manipulation is the guiss of love

what if the efforts are just the way to trap you all in all what really is love

I have heard stories and stories about love, that it's such a beautiful thing

what if it's all just manipulation what would you do having fallen so deep as though you were in a quicksand, though you were in a ocean with no land, as though you were deprived of oxygen what would you really do

is love really needed does love really to exist or is it or just an illusion we force ourselves to believe

but one thing I know is that love without efforts is useless and an illusion

love cannotes survive without efforts you can eat love

love goes, love wanes, love foundation vanishes but efforts, effort remain, efforts are remembered, effort stand the test of time but at the end of the day the question is what really is love

is it just a feeling and illusion fantasy or is a real raw heart feeling

there are lots of explanations for love, but I always stand on

love without efforts isn't love

love with no action isn't love

promises through words isn't love but action to back those ways words is love

take the risk, fall in love, learn the lesson, life is about taking risk

it's about getting hurt getting back on your feet and moving forward and never giving up
